Turas: from Old Irish, meaning journey, expedition; pilgrimage.
This group of friends from Central Illinois is on a journey to share songs, stories, and good times (what the Irish call craic) with their audience. Playing a wide variety of Irish/Celtic music, Turas never fails to deliver on good music and good times. So sit back and join Turas on the journey!
Free and open to all.

Carrie Sue and the Wood Burners reside at the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, vocal harmonies, folk music, bluegrass, country music, and Americana. It’s a combination of the new and the old that takes the timeless art of a well-crafted song, the beauty of interwoven melody and harmony, and melts it together with a contemporary inspiration. Honest songs, heartfelt vocals, and excellent musicianship.
Free and open to all.
